	'''Bayati''' is a maqam that, like all other maqams, is a heptatonic scale. It contains neutral intervals and the standard version has step pattern LLmmLLs, making it a MODMOS which can be derived by chromatic alteration from either the diatonic or the [[~~Mohajira\|~~mohajira]] scale.		''This page is about the maqam. For the scale in Western xenharmonic theory with the same pattern, see [[Trachytonic]].''

	The term bayati is also used to refer to the variants (modulations) '''Bayati Shuri''' and '''Husseini.''' The latter has the same step structure (LLmmLmm) as the [[Mohajira\|rast]] MODMOS, while the former includes an augmented second.

	Bayati embeddings can be classified by the size of the tempered perfect fifth. On the very wide superpyth end of the spectrum, [[27edo\|27edo]] gives a version that is 5533551. This embedding is very unusual because the "minor second" is actually smaller than a quarter tone, which would make it alien even within the context of Arab music; its "major third" is also decidedly [[Interseptimal\|interseptimal]] and thus has an odd effect.

	The more moderate superpyth system [[17edo\|17edo]] gives an interesting bayati embedding (~~[[Screamapillar\|screamapillar]];~~ 3322331) that is excellent for harmony, providing an abundance of no-fives 13-limit chords; especially of interest is its diminished triad that closely matches 9:11:13. Melodically it's also close to optimal if you're going for expressive intonation.

	The typical tuning for Arab music, however, is [[24edo\|24edo]] and here the step pattern is 4433442.		The typical tuning for Arab music, however, is [[24edo\|24edo]] and here the step pattern is 4433442.
